Safe Flight and New Sewing Room Cabinets

I have decided that I never want to fly again if I can't sit in the exit row. SO MUCH LEG ROOM!

Both flights were pretty uneventful. It was rather windy when we were landing in Minnesota so I was very thankful when we finally touched down. I think my guts might not have lasted too much longer without deciding to spew if it had gone on too much longer!

The past couple of days I've been awfully busy. We tore out an old awful ugly hearth from the family room in the basement and then my grandpa and I installed some awesome new cabinets for my mom.

Since the insides are almost as cool as the outsides, here are some shots of those as well.

The bottom row is full of nice deep drawers that pull out the entire way so that you can get to everything inside of them. The rails can be moved so you can adjust them however you need which is pretty nifty.

The upper row of cabinets is equipped with shelves.

The best part is the witch in the corner watching over everything.

Can you see her?

Next on the agenda is picking a paint color for the walls and getting knobs on the cabinet!

Leg room is very subjective. I find increased legroom doesn't do anything for me as I easily fit in bucket airline economy, and have more then enough space to stretch out (Sorry! *ducks*). I normally just put my bag under the seat which means I can't stretch out quite as comfortably but means I don't need to get up and bug people to get to my stuff in the overhead locker. I can't see me pulling this off if I was much bigger.

I remember on one flight I ended up right at the front and there was so much space between me and the wall I couldn't touch it with my feet. It was terrible. I couldn't curl up against the seat in front and go to sleep. Though that flight was an unexpected free business class upgrade so I wasn't complaining...

I love the window seat and now leg room... I sleep better in coach than frist class... I guess I'm just a coach class of girl... Simple and frugle thats me =) but I don't have long legs to contend with so curled in a ball is comforting to me...

I know what you mean about the leg-room! Once you get used to sitting in the exit rows, it's hard to go back! My bf and I always fly Air Transat between NL and Canada, and we usually pay the extra 60 bucks just to have comfy seats in the exit row!

I am so jealous of those cabinets! I was at an antique store the other day, and I saw three pyrex dishes (it looked like they were a set) and thought of you. If you are still in town, let me know, and we can go scope them out, if you would like!
